They’ll push the update through Google Play Services, so if your phone is Gapps free, you’ll probably be able to continue to use F-Droid.

I don’t know about that but f**king mini PCs here saw price increase around +200% here since last autumn.

Yeah, thinking about how SteamOS works, I think we might actually be in the clear.

While I kinda understand the steep price, not being able to use with other than Steam is a deal breaker for me. Yes, you can create shortcuts inside Steam and use the controller like that probably but still. On the other hand, I can use the old Steam controller even on a browser alongside with the rest of my OS.

It was possible to replace Windows Task Bar with KDE Panel at one point (could be around KDE 4 times) and it was actually hilarious to use Windows with KDE (Dolphin and all). Certainly made Windows less terrible.

Hats off to the meme distros that actually fix a problem by the way. :)

That’s relative to situation and also usually the easier solution to a certain problem because if you need to find a solution for your distro it might come to compiling from source. So, either switch to the distro recommended or just start from Gentoo for everything. If you’re using Gentoo, no nerd will tell you to switch to another distro.

Ah, I see. It seems they just disabled their “official” way to transfer via USB. So, local transfers shouldn’t be affected I guess. However this means, if one don’t have older Kindles they won’t get “Download” option from Amazon anymore apparently. They have to directly download it to Kindle and cannot get it out from the device.

No problem!

Don’t have a link for the firmware though quoting from the guide I used:

Copy the update URL (in this case, to 5.11.2)
Edit the URL (by changing the 5.11.2 to 5.11.0)
Click and save.

Don’t know if it still works though.

While not having PaperWhite this was the guide I used. Though be careful if you have firmware version 5.15.1.1 or later, you might need to downgrade first. And don’t rush anything. Good luck!

It’s possible but if I were these people I would at least discover other options other than Kindle at this point.

No but recently Amazon also pushed an update to make this happen, so people who got this update cannot locally upload books on their devices anymore and have to use Amazon services to buy and download books. Luckily for older devices jailbreak is still an option. Also, people who didn’t update can still use Calibre too apparently. Customization is far better with jailbreak anyway though.

Amazon stopped the support for the older Kindles (though it seems only for store connection but anyway) so this will push people to learn new ways to read their books on their devices, a.k.a. jailbreak.

Indeed they have. Hopefully this will be the tip of the iceberg for a lot of people too.

That day is closer than ever.

They have no intention to sell them to us. They’ll maybe let us play it like this thorugh GeForce Now, or any other streaming service.

They don’t want regular folk to buy PCs anymore.

So, yes. Fuck them indeed.

I’m not from TNT Radio but that’s something El Presidente would use.
